Since 1917, Lions clubs have offered people the opportunity to give something
back to their communities. From involving members in projects as local as
cleaning up an area park or as far-reaching as bringing sight to the world's
blind, Lions clubs have always embraced those committed to building a brighter
future for their community.

Today with more than approximately 45,000 clubs in 206 countries and geographical
areas, Lions have expanded their focus to help meet the ever-increasing
needs of our global community.

Lions club members are men and women who strive to make a difference in
their local community as well as communities worldwide. Their volunteer
efforts go beyond the support of vision care, to addressing unmet health
and education needs worldwide.
